The finale of the hit shows second season was shown on Feb 7.Wu Yishu, 16, who studies at the High School Afliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, came out on top. In an earlier episode, Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section entitled “Feihualing”. The games theme (主题) was “yue”, meaning “moon” or “month” in Chinese. She recited lines from the Classic of Poetry (诗经 ), the earliest collection of poems in China: “In July, the crickets are in the field; In August, they are in the yard; In September they are at the door; In October, the crickets enter and crawl under our beds.“I really admire her knowledge of poems,” said Huang Zijin, 16, a senior 2 student from Ningbo High School in Zhejiang province. “The first time I saw her wearing traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks. She fulfills all my fantasies for classic Chinese womens talents. Whats more, she always appears so calm throughout the show, which is very unusual for her age.”As the old saying goes: “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance (优雅).”“Learning poems isnt about winning or losing. The power of poetry lies in shaping ones view of life and developing ones inner world,” said Li Bo, an expert guest at the Chinese Poetry Competitions second season.When it comes to teaching people about poetry, Li Dingguang, the shows academic advisor, suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic (审美的) and emotional sides, and guide the student to lose themselves in the poems rhythmic (有节奏的) and rhyming (押韵的) lines.“Although the proportion (比例) of ancient Chinese poems in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased, many students still learn them for exams,” Li Dingguang told C. “Therefore, its important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry.”（1）You should learn all of the following things EXCEPT _.

Going outside is bad for cats，too. E. The birds are fewer and fewer in America. F. Cats kill many birds and small animals every year. _Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live. _Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two-thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice. _They can also bring illness to the animals that live in peoples yard，and further weakening the health of the natural populations. _Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife，its also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks（攻击）from other animals. In fact，outdoor cats usually dont live past the age of five，while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older. _Keep your pet cat inside！If you raise a young cat，its your duty to let it play inside. 四、 短文填词 (共1题；共10分)21. （10分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填人一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。Nelson Mandela was one of the greatest leaders in the world.
